Mon, 08 Oct 2012 10:28:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1365724#comment-2047482I love the “the other teams have losing records” comments. I’m pretty sure if atl lost those game 3 of 5 would have winning records right?

You could be writing about the good things that the Falcons do for charity…but it doesn’t mean a thing until they get a playoff win.

Give me a break. Last 3 losses are to Giants (won Super Bowl), Packers (won Super Bowl), and Cardinals (lost in Super Bowl). Do you know what every team that doesn’t win the Super Bowl have in common? They all lost a playoff game! Some just played a game or 2 (or 3) more.

The thing is…you picked against them this week and instead of being humble you still have to be snarky. I’m betting you won’t even post this unedited or at all.

They look better than last year to me. Want to see them play a good team. Think everyone they have played has a losing record but the Chargers.

Just as your team has to learn how to win,learn to win on the road,learn to winwhen you don’t play your best. You have to learn how to win in the post season. The falcons Re doing just that.

They are sure relevant to the five they beat. No one has beat them folks.

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:57:24 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1365724#comment-2046809Funny all the negative post about irrelevancy and a one Matt Stafford, from people who’s team hasn’t won a Super Bowl this decade either. I’d rather be 5-0 leading mr division now and going forward than to be one of the bottom feeders like the Detroit Lions, Saints and others. Can’t worry about tomorrow gotta focus on 2Day! Go FALCONS! One game closer to winning the division unlike the vast majority of the league. We will deal with the playoffs when we get there.

No way, they aren’t the 2009 Broncos or 2008 Titans.

I’d rather be 5-0 than have any other number than zero in the loss column I’ll tell u that much

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:27:10 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1365724#comment-2046676Of course, the key to doing well in the second season is getting there in the first place. The Falcons seem focused on doing that. After all, they could have turtled in the last two games and didn’t.

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:06:11 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1365724#comment-2046625Falcons fans should be happy their coach has things in perspective, because as good as they are playing, they also seemed lights out in 2010 and were smoked by an overrated Packers squad at home. Even if they go 15-1, good for them, but I wouldn’t bet a penny on them winning a Super Bowl until they win a playoff game and erase one of the collosal choke jobs in playoff history.

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:54:55 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1365724#comment-2046613Falcons have looked good most of the time and dominant at others. The biggest factor has been winning the turnover battle and getting takeaways which has mitigated an at times porous defense. They are beatable but whoever does it will have to take care of the ball better than their first 5 opponents have. Not sure the Raiders are that kind of team and wouldn’t be surprised to see them go into their bye week 6-0.

Sick of all these coaches saying “we’re better than our record shows” and the like to keep backpedaling and save face. I’m definitely not a Falcons fan (I’ll be permanently butthurt about the 98 NFCG), but I like Mike Smith.
